Local version folders. Cura 2.6.1 has local version folders, which means the new Cura version won’t overwrite the existing configuration and profiles from older Cura versions but creates a new folder instead.

Better support adhesion. The new Cura version has improved support profiles with better PLA/PVA and Nylon/PVA adhesion. The CPE/PVA combination is also supported in the new Cura.

Model auto-arrange. It's now easier to arrange your build plate when placing multiple models or copying a single model. With the model auto-arrange feature, Cura automatically re-arranges your build plate so that none of the models are positioned beyond the boundaries of the build plate, for example.

The latest firmware update delivers a range of improvements, including the ability to restart a print directly from the Ultimaker 3 3D printer, without needing to use Cura software. There is also a new feature to assist in print core cleaning. This menu option gives the user accurate input on how to execute a hot pull or a cold pull, a maintenance procedure that is occasionally required to fully unclog a nozzle. Another highlight of the updated Ultimaker 3 firmware is an improved material change procedure. When changing materials, the Ultimaker 3 automatically flushes out all residue material, ensuring the print core is completely clean when your new material is inserted.
